Pantothenic Acid, apparently the one essential to the growth of all living substances, has been isolated by Professor Roger John Williams of Corvallis, Ore. All he possesses weighs less than half a drop of water. Yet that driblet is enough to lead to the synthesis of the potent stuff. Dr. Williams believes that pantothenic acid, a tiny amount of which has a remarkably stimulating effect on the growth of plants and single-celled animals, may be the long-hinted clue to why cancers grow so wildly...

We believe, also, that in this way it will be possible to make a cancer slowly disappear, by re-establishing the organic defences which will take care of the growth, which will be absorbed slowly by autolysis, phagocytosis, or normal connective-tissue growth. Such a cure of cancer seems more logical than a specific remedy with power to kill cancer...
